Tetracycline Staining: Blazing Sweet

One afternoon, we received a call from an adopter who had recently added another greyhound from our adoption program to her home. She called to tell us how horrible this greyhound’s mouth was. Blazing Sweet was only 2-years-old and we had difficulty believing that one, we would have a greyhound with such a significant problem at age two and two, that we would have let it out our doors in such a condition.

Our adopter scheduled appointments to bring all five of her greyhounds to our clinic, including this young dog with terrible teeth. As it turned out, they were not terrible at all, simply stained and discolored.

Some greyhounds are given large doses of tetracycline as puppies which eventually leads to discoloration of the teeth. This discoloration will never go away unless you take your dog to dentist that does whitening. We see this time and time again. It’s one of those things you just have to live with and not worry about. As long as you continue to take care of your greyhound’s dental needs, it should never be a problem.
